Advertising.—Business is business and must be _pressed_ home. Now we have a business secret for your ear, reader! one which we charge you nothing for; but which comes charged with weighty and important meaning. _Do you ever advertise?_ No! Why there is nothing like advertising to make a fortune! Nearly all the men about here, who never advertised, have _taken in_ their signs, shut up shop, been taken in themselves and have gone to California—the dupes of the very advertising in the newspapers, which they scorned while fortune was all around them. You must take hold of this lever that moves the business world. Advertise in _your local papers_—if your business is local—let your neighbors know that you have something to _sell_—that you wish to _buy_ something—or, that you are ready to _trade_. Wake up! and wake up your neighbors! We should never be able to publish Graham with 112 pages per month, if we did not let the world _know_ that we are wide awake, and ready to supply any quantity of numbers for 1852, _having stereotyped the book purposely_. Now, drowsy head! do _you_ suppose that if you are a storekeeper you would not sell more goods by advertising? Or if a mechanic, that it will do you any harm to be known far and near as an active, enterprising business man ready for customers? Or, if a farmer, with a lot of _extra_ corn or potatoes to sell, that you could not _make_ a market? Do you suppose, that you can put your hands into your pockets and whistle a fortune into them, too? If you do, advertise _that_, and be immortal. * * * * * Our Stories.—We have adopted the plan of giving our readers one long story complete, in each number—say from twelve to twenty pages. In the January number we gave “The Rich Man’s Whims,” which was universally praised by the press and by the readers of this Magazine. “Anna Temple,” which appeared in the February number, we think, was a better story, and so say many critics competent to judge. “The Democrat,” at Ballston, N. Y., says, in noticing the last number—“Graham now contains, and will continue to contain, during this year, more reading matter monthly than any similar work published in the country. The story, “Anna Temple,” in the February number, is one of the finest tales we have ever read, and is alone worth more than the year’s subscription to the Magazine.” And this is but one, of scores of such notices.
